Flir Extech MO265 Meter Specification

The Flir Extech MO265 is a sophisticated moisture meter designed to provide precise and nondestructive measurements of moisture content in various materials. It employs a combination of pin and pinless technology, allowing users to choose the most appropriate method based on the material being tested. The pinless measurement function utilizes a radio frequency to detect moisture up to 0.75 inches below the surface, making it ideal for assessing moisture in walls, flooring, and other structures without causing damage. For more precise moisture content analysis, the pin measurement feature involves inserting the pins into the material to obtain direct readings.

This versatile meter has a measurement range of 0 to 100% for pinless mode and 6 to 99.9% for pin mode, calibrated for wood and other building materials. It features an easy-to-read LCD display that shows moisture levels and includes a programmable alarm to alert users when moisture levels exceed set thresholds. The MO265 is equipped with a hold function that retains the last reading on the display for easy reference, and it also offers a minimum/maximum reading memory.

Designed for convenience and durability, the MO265 has a robust, ergonomic design that ensures comfortable handling even during extended use. It is powered by a standard 9V battery, providing sufficient operational time for comprehensive inspections. The device is suitable for a wide range of applications, including home inspection, water damage restoration, and building maintenance. With its advanced features and reliable performance, the Flir Extech MO265 is an essential tool for professionals in the construction and restoration industries who require accurate moisture measurement and analysis.
